Free State Festival seeks $100K from city

Kansas University will not require fraternities and sororities to change the way they house and recruit freshmen, contrary to what the Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual Assault suggested this spring.

KU announced on Monday that the university was implementing, or already had implemented, 22 of the 27 recommendations the task force KANSAS suggested after being UNIVERSITY created in September 2014 and meeting throughout the academic year.

Two recommendations — probably the most controversial in the batch — that would have changed long-standing greek practices at KU were not among them. In making its suggestions, the task force cited national studies but none specific to KU greek life.

One recommendation was that all KU freshmen should live in residence halls, where KU could more easily reach them with educational programming. Currently, most fraternity pledges live in their respective chapter houses.

Arts Center CEO says event will be canceled if request not met

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

Time is running out for next year’s Free State Festival.

City commissioners today will be asked to approve the Lawrence Arts Center’s request for $100,000. If festival organizers don’t receive an answer by then, the 2016 Free State Festival, tentatively slated for June 20-26, will be canceled.

That’s the line Lawrence Arts Center CEO Susan Tate drew in an Aug. 10 letter, which asked for $100,000 in transient guest tax

funds — a jump from $60,000 in 2015 and $20,000 in 2014 — to support the festival.

The guest tax is what overnight guests pay to stay in a Lawrence hotel room. Currently Tate that tax is 6 percent.

Tate said Monday that the request isn’t the result of a “shortfall” on the festival’s part.

Instead, organizers are coping with a decrease in grant funding and an increased budget for next year’s festival, she said.

Based on a yearlong internal analysis, organizers have increased the 2016 budget to $400,500. Expenses for the 2015 Free State Festival totaled about $335,000.

According to Tate’s letter, the city-assisted funds would go toward marketing ($20,000), musicians’ fees ($50,000) and outdoor production costs ($30,000) for the festival.

“We are increasing the overall budget because we think it’s an important time to have even Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo greater access to visual and MUSICIAN GEORGE CLINTON performs at the Free State

L awrence J ournal -W orld

DEATHS Jan IrvIne Dean Jan Irvine Dean – known by her loved ones as “Gran Jan,� entered eternal life September 7th, 2015 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Jan was born on February 18th, 1925 in Jacksonville, Texas – the only child of Jacob and Bess Marie Irvine.

She married Thomas Scott Dean, of Sherman, Texas, on June 1st, 1945.

Jan was preceded in death by her husband Tom, daughter Tamarie and son, Dixon Lee. She is survived by her son, Thomas Scott Dean Jr. and his wife, Karen, of Stillwater, Oklahoma; her three grandchildren, Kira Frisby, and David Dean and Tamarie Rushin; and her great-granddaughter Stella Frisby.

Jan received both her Bachelors of Arts and Master of Arts in English from Oklahoma State University, where she was a proud member of the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.

She taught freshman composition and honors English at both Oklahoma State University and the University of Kansas, where she worked until her retirement.

Three things stand out about Jan, three of her deep loves and passions: Her family. Her Husband.

Her imagination.

Volunteering and, of course, any and all dogs.

Ok so five things, she was an active lover and liver of life! If you knew Jan, you know that any letter or note you have ever sent her, she kept, whether you sent it fifty-years ago or five months ago, because she was a keeper of memories, she lived in those memories, those letters, her journals, especially after Tom died but really throughout her entire life. She was magic with words – living and making every

ElizabEth JunE WEathErWax

moment on this earth, while doing the same in the world, places and people she held closely to her heart and within her imagination. Jan was a passionate, artistic, creative person. She loved to read, was a selftaught pianist, enjoyed traveling (she was born to see the world), was a published poet, involved in numerous book clubs and writing groups, had two big green thumbs, and her love of dogs was contagious and deep. She volunteered for over 30 years, and was the recipient of the “Volunteer of the Year in the Lifetime Service Category� through her work at Audio Reader, which brought her endless hours of joy.

A memorial service for family and close friends will be held at 10:00 a.m.

Saturday, September 26, 2015 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Lawrence.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to KU Audio Reader, P.O. Box 847, Lawrence, KS 66044 or St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 516 W. Third St., Stillwater, OK 74074 or may be sent in care of WarrenMcElwain Mortuary.

Funeral service for June Weatherwax, 94, Lawrence, will be 10 am.

Thursday, at RumseyYost Funeral Home.

Interment will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery. The Rev. Rob Baldwin will officiate.

She was born June 26, 1921, the daughter of William Stevens and Esther Evans Griesa.

June attended Pinckney Grade School, St. Mary’s Academy for 3 years in Leavenworth and graduated from Liberty Memorial High School in 1939. She attended Kansas University and was a member of Pi Beta Phi, KU Alumni Association, 20th Century Club, and on the Board of Directors for The Boys Achievement Place. She was a avid golfer coming very close to a hole in one by less than 2 inches. She played bridge weekly in several clubs, was a great cook, loved flowers, in fact everything growing, her red barn at Mount Hope Nursery, Kansas University campus, and antiques.

Her family owned and operated Mount Hope Nursery established in 1861 by A.C. Griesa. This company planted trees all over Lawrence including the beautiful redbuds on the KU campus. The final job before selling

the nursery in 1972, they planted Massachusetts St in downtown Lawrence considered a “Tree City USA�.

June had an extended family! At any time, you could find her in the kitchen cooking for her family or talking to someone looking for a great listener and some direction in life. She volunteered at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Lawrence Public Library.

She married John Thomas Weatherwax on December 4, 1940. He preceded Her in death on August 29, 2008. She was also preceded in death by 2 sons John Thomas Jr. in 1949 and William Steven in 1960, and a daughter Joy Weatherwax Jerrick Pattin on July 17, 2009.

Software issues plague legislators

awrence-Douglas County Fire Medical responders have used Kansas University residence halls for summertime training drills before, but not like this.

Monday at McCollum Hall, there was a slew of fire engines and other vehicles, and crews were dragging hoses inside the building — spraying real water — and practicing forced entries into doors — us-

ing actual force.

“That’s the advantage,” said Shaun Coffey, division chief of training for the fire department. “If we do any damage, it doesn’t really matter. When they’re occupied we have to be a little more careful.”

Fire-medical crews will continue high-rise search and rescue and fire attack training today and Wednesday at McCollum, Coffey said.

They’ve recently used the vacant Stouffer Place apartment buildings for training, too, and expect to be back for more training at McCollum in a few weeks. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office also used Stouffer Place for some training this month.

“We’re trying to take advantage of it while we can,” Coffey said.

District adding 50 laptops for high school students

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll said 25 additional laptops will be delivered to each of the city’s two high schools in response to concerns some teachers raised that digital textbooks were creating inequity for low-income

students.

“We thought we had it covered, but we didn’t,” Doll said at the school board’s meeting on Monday.

The laptops will be available for semesteror year-long checkout for students who are enrolled in classes that rely on digital content, which includes algebra I and

advanced placement history at both high schools.

The laptops, along with additional textbooks for classroom use, will be delivered today, Doll said.

“We apologize to teachers and to some parents that had some concerns in that area,” Doll said.

Teachers in those subjects have been us-

ing “classroom sets” that consist of 13 textbooks to serve hundreds of students at each school. Doll explained that a miscommunication had occurred when ordering the books, new this year, in which 13 books were ordered per course instead of 13 per section.

dered more,” Doll said.

“The textbooks will arrive soon.”

About 70 algebra I books that the district already had but not yet delivered will be divided between both high schools, and an additional 40 books have been ordered, which Doll said will bring the studentto-book ratio up to 2-to-1.

As new curriculum is adopted districtwide, more digital textbooks will go into use, and Doll said that necessitates a need for the district to purchase more computers. The district is currently doing an inventory of laptops and tablets in order to determine how many more computers would be needed to bring the student-to-device ratio up to 1-to-1, as well as the cost of doing so.

In other business, the school board also voted to approve its yearly goals, a list that includes dozens of topics, such as investigating later school start times and increasing time allotted for recess and other physical movement.

Ensuring equal access to technology for students both at school and at home is another goal, and the board agreed that investigating a move to a 1-1 ratio would be added to the considerations for that goal.

Also part of the yearly goals, the district will research and issue reports on four topics: the number and intensity of all assessments; history and current status of collaborative mental health programs with Bert Nash; a language magnet elementary program; and high school dropout rates.

The next school board meeting will be at 7 p.m.

Sept. 28 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

The system is called the Kansas Legislative Information Systems and Services, or KLISS. It’s a product of Propylon Inc., a company that specializes in legislative software.

eXplore Lawrence and its governing board, on the other hand, “would focus on Lawrence, convention, visitors, travel and destination marketing — anything we can do to promote travel and tourism here in Lawrence,” Gilliland said.

A resolution under consideration by the City Commission does away with the Convention and Visitors Bureau Advisory Board, which makes suggestions to the City Commission on promoting tourism, and creates a board that would have the authority to hire and fire staff, manage the organization’s finances and create eXplore Lawrence’s long-term plans.

The Legislature has been using the system since 2011. At the time, it was touted as a cuttingedge system that would improve the flow of information and transparency in state government.

So far, the state has paid Propylon more than $14 million, Wagle said.

But lawmakers and legislative staff began venting strong frustrations during the 2015 session because they were unable to perform simple tasks, such as cutting and pasting text from one bill into

another. They said every time a bill was amended, or its contents moved into another bill, the entire bill had to be rewritten from scratch.

“Every time we waited, it was over six hours, and it wasn’t because the Revisor couldn’t get it done.

They could get it done,” Wagle said. “There were problems with the software.”

Officials at Propylon did not immediately respond to phone calls requesting comment.

Mike Logan, chairman for the CVB advisory board, said the change would allow the boards to focus more intently on the organizations they oversee.

“I think that’s the way that both organizations will operate the most efficiently,” Logan said.

“There’s synergy between the two; it’s just as far as day-to-day operation and focus, each of them having their own governing board seems to make the most sense.”

Under the proposal, the new eXplore Lawrence board would include one representative each from Lawrence’s cultural, sports and recreation and service/event management industries. A city commissioner, a representative from an educational institution and two employees from local hotels would take the other four posi-

tions.

Members would be appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the City Commission.

If the commission approves the plan today, Gilliland said, the board would be established in about a month. Board members would then start the process to hire a director for eXplore Lawrence.

Commissioners meet at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall.

A partial Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving the antibiotic drug Cipro. The lawsuit claims that Bayer Corporation, Barr Laboratories, Inc., Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and The Rugby Group, Inc. (the “Defendants”) violated antitrust and consumer protection laws by agreeing not to compete with each other and keeping lower cost generic versions of Cipro off the market. The Defendants deny this. No one is claiming that Cipro is unsafe or ineffective.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

Ronald McDonald Magic Show!

Bayer has agreed to pay $4,500,000 into a Settlement Fund (the “Fund”). After deducting attorneys’ fees, costs, and other fees and expenses, the Fund will be distributed to Class Members who file valid claims. Payments will be based on the number of valid claims filed and how much you paid for Cipro. It is estimated that consumers will receive at least $25 each. The Settlement Agreement, available at the website www.KSCiproSettlement.com, contains more details. The Settlement Agreement involves only Bayer; the case will continue against the other Defendants.

KU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“This is not feasible for a number of reasons,” KU said in a news release about the recommendations. “For example, the University does not have adequate housing to make this possible.”

The second suggested that fraternities, which begin informally recruiting men still in high school, and sororities, which hold formal recruitment the week before fall classes begin, should defer recruitment until spring.

Regarding that, KU said: “We have discussed this with the greek community every year for many years, but the greek community has opted to not change its practices.

We will continue to have these conversations and encourage fraternities and sororities to consider our suggestions.”

Joe Simmons, KU Interfraternity Council public relations director and a member of Beta Theta Pi, said IFC leaders supported the university’s actions on the task force recommendations.

“We’re glad to see that

Alcohol CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The first instance happened Aug. 29 during a traffic stop, McKinley said.

An officer pulled over the car and found nine people — seven men and two women — squeezed inside. One of the women was unconscious from alcohol intoxication.

The officer asked the others in the car if they knew the passed-out woman, and they claimed they did, McKinley said.

Tuesday, September 15, 2015

they’re considering a lot of these options, because they are good,” Simmons said. “But we’re also glad that the ones that could fundamentally alter how we do business are not being considered.”

A third task force recommendation involving the greek community was for the university to collaborate better with them, and instead of the greeks having their own separate task force, encourage them to participate in KU’s Title IX Roundtable (which the task force suggests replacing with a Sexual Violence Prevention Advisory Board).

Simmons said he supported greeks being on that board, but in addition to their own greek task force, which also met throughout last year and is beginning several educational initiatives this fall.

“They (KU) have very powerful resources for sex assault prevention and education,” he said. “I think that absolutely improving our programming and education as time goes on is going to be something that’s got to happen ... I believe having a separate and greek-run program is important, too, because the people that know the most about greek issues

are greek leaders.”

Alesha Doan, associate professor of political science and chairwoman of women, gender and sexuality studies at KU, was task force co-chairwoman. The Journal-World was unable to reach her for comment Monday, but she said in KU’s news release that the task force underwent a long process of critically examining the university’s practices and prevention efforts in hopes of creating a safer campus.

“Today, KU has responded,” Doan said.

“Chancellor Gray-Little has begun the next significant phase of addressing sexual violence by implementing many of the Sexual Assault Task Force’s recommendations. The task force is extremely proud to have been a part of the process that will ultimately result in a safer environment for our students.”

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said KU staff worked over the summer to evaluate the 27 recommendations.

“Our desire has always been to position KU as a leader in how universities address this national problem,” Gray-Little said in the news release, “and the task force’s efforts have helped make

that aspiration a reality.”

KU had already put some recommendations in place by the time the task force concluded its meetings, including a formal memorandum of understanding with the Lawrence Police Department that codifies how and when KU investigators and police communicate on sexual assault investigations.

Others are in the works but still far from being fully formed.

One major example is creating a central sexual assault prevention and educational resource center, as it would serve as an umbrella for a number of other efforts.

Planning for a center is in progress and expected to be implemented before the end of this school year, according to KU. University spokesman Joe Monaco said where at KU such a center would be housed, how much it would cost and who would staff it are among questions yet to be answered.

“We have looked at three or four different scenarios and are trying to figure out which ones make the most sense,” he said.

But they were unable to recall her name or address when the officer asked.

The second incident occurred Sept. 5 near the intersection of 14th and Ohio streets when an officer noticed a group of men attempting to lift an unconscious woman to carry her back to their fraternity house, McKinley said. Again, the men claimed to know her, but did not know her name.

In both circumstances, the men told officers they were planning to care for the women back at their fraternity houses. But of-

ficers assessing the situation instead stopped the men and called ambulances. Both unconscious women were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of possible alcohol poisoning.

McKinley said it is “impossible to know the intentions of the men involved.” They could have been up to something nefarious or truly concerned about the women’s conditions. Regardless, he said, the situations were unsafe because of the women’s level of intoxication.

“Who knows how often these things happen,”

McKinley said. “Intoxication of those extremes is a medical emergency and an ambulance needs to be called.”

McKinley said that when an evening involves drinking, “people need to stay in groups and make sure someone responsible is assigned to remain sober” to look out for the group. He also stressed the importance of monitoring one’s alcohol intake and being aware of one’s surroundings.

EDITORIALS

Tourism matters City commissioners should give careful consideration to two items that will help guide the city’s tourism strategy.

A

pair of items on tonight’s Lawrence City Commission agenda put the spotlight on the city’s tourism efforts. One represents a significant organizational change for the city’s Convention and Visitors Bureau; the other is a request to spend more than $215,000 from the city’s transient guest tax fund to help attract and support three major track and field events in Lawrence.

The commission will be asked tonight to create a new governing board for eXplore Lawrence, the new entity that would take over operation of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. The eXplore Lawrence board would have seven voting members, including a city commissioner and representatives from the hotel industry, recreation, cultural interests and education. Three ex-officio members would represent the city manager’s office, Downtown Lawrence Inc. and the Lawrence Chamber of commerce.

The board would be responsible for operating the CVB as a city vendor for travel and tourism promotion. Among its first steps will be to establish bylaws for the organization and recruit a new CVB director.

This is a new model for the CVB, which was part of the Lawrence Chamber before moving under the umbrella of Destination Management Inc., which also has overseen local operations for Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area and provided some coordination for county historical societies.

According the Megan Gilliland, city communications manager, eXplore Lawrence would no longer be affiliated with Destination Management.

Rather than putting the CVB under the city’s umbrella or perhaps back with the chamber of commerce, this plan would operate it as an independent entity. It’s a significant step for the office that will guide the city’s efforts to attract tourism, events and conferences.

Perhaps the new eXplore Lawrence board could also look at new funding strategies for major athletic events that the city has focused on recruiting — especially since the opening of Rock Chalk Park. The money being sought by Lawrence Sports Corp., a nonprofit subsidiary of eXplore Lawrence, would be directed to three events. Two of them already are scheduled. The NCAA Division I Midwest track and regionals are set for May 28-30 at Rock Chalk Park and the NCAA Midwest cross-country regionals scheduled for Nov. 13 at Rim Rock Farms, which is in Jefferson County just north of Lawrence. The city still is trying to attract the 2017 USA Track and Field Junior Olympic Championship, also at Rock Chalk Park, a process that includes a $25,000 application fee.

It is estimated that these events will raise millions of additional guest tax and sales tax dollars for the city, which justifies some city support. However, the city already has made a substantial investment in the Rock Chalk Park facilities, and it seems reasonable that the owners of that park also should share in the cost of recruiting and supporting those events.

Rock Chalk Park will derive significant financial benefits from those events, so why shouldn’t it contribute to those efforts rather than force the city to deplete the guest tax fund or perhaps raise other taxes to support events?

The two tourism issues on tonight’s agenda deserve careful consideration by city commissioners, who should make sure that both the new CVB structure and the funding strategy to support athletic events fit with the city’s longterm goal of making tourism a significant contributor to the local economy.

Teamwork may ease refugee crisis Santiago, Chile — There is a fierce debate in many Latin American countries over whether to accept some of the Syrian refugees who are flooding Europe in one of the world’s worst migration crises since World War II. But there is a creative solution that could allow Latin America to help solve the tragedy.

Before we get to how Latin America could play a helpful role, let’s point out that about 366,000 Syrians fleeing their country’s civil war have already made their way to Europe so far this year, and by the end of next year their numbers will total more than 850,000, according to United Nations projections.

European countries are overwhelmed by the avalanche of Syrian refugees.

Germany — by far the most generous European country this time — has already volunteered to take in about 500,000 Syrians. But other nations, such as Hungary, are calling for a wall to keep more Syrian migrants from entering Europe.

Last week, the Obama administration announced that the U.S. is planning to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees.

And in Latin America, where several countries have large Syrian communities, the leaders of Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico, Uruguay and Chile have said that they will offer visas to Syrian refugees.

But Latin American asylum offers to Syrians are largely symbolic, and will at best benefit a few hundred families. Latin American

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

If Latin America is willing to take more Syrian refugees but can’t afford to do it, while Persian Gulf states can afford to pay but don’t want to accept them, have the Saudis and other Persian Gulf states pay Latin America to help resettle Syrian refugees in the region.” economies are hurting, and there is no money for ambitious refugee programs.

Last year, former Uruguayan President Jose Mujica made big headlines when he gave asylum to 42 Syrian refugees and welcomed them personally at the airport. But the experiment didn’t end well.

Five of the Syrian families who settled in Uruguay camped out in front of Uruguay’s presidential palace last week to ask President Tabare Vasquez for help to leave the country, saying they could not live on their

meager government subsidies. Some of them told reporters they wanted to go back to the refugee camps in Lebanon from where they had moved to Uruguay.

Since I arrived here last week, I’ve heard several government critics ask, “Why don’t Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait, which are awash in oil money, take these Syrian refugees?”

Indeed, according to a CNN report, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar have not received any Syrian migrants recently. While Turkey has received 1.9 million Syrians and Lebanon 1.1 million, the figure for oil-rich Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar was zero, the report says.

Saudi Arabia claims to have received 500,000 Syrians over the past four years, but human rights groups say they have been allowed in as temporary laborers without refugee status. Saudi Arabia has also offered to build 200 mosques in Germany for Syrian refugees who have fled Europe, according to the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Middle East experts say most Persian Gulf states are not accepting Syrian refugees because their native populations are already smaller than that of their temporary foreign workers, and their ruling families fear losing political control if they accept permanent residents with refugee status.

My opinion: Saudi Arabia is the kingdom of hypocrisy.

Despite its massive wealth, and the fact that it has 100,000

air-conditioned tents that can house 3 million people that are used for only five days a year for the annual pilgrimage to Mina near the holy city of Mecca, it’s not giving shelter to the latest wave of Syrian refugees.

Instead, Saudi Arabia is offering to build mosques in Germany, where it can export radical Islamic priests who spread hatred to the West, while it keeps them away from home, where they could spell trouble for the king.

And the same could be said for Qatar, which spends a fortune in sponsorships for Spain’s Barcelona soccer club and other high-profile world institutions in an effort to portray itself as a modern and generous global player, while it denies asylum to Syrian refugees in its neighborhood.

So here’s my humble contribution to help solve the Syrian refugee crisis: If Latin America is willing to take more Syrian refugees but can’t afford to do it, while Persian Gulf states can afford to pay but don’t want to accept them, have the Saudis and other Persian Gulf states pay Latin America to help resettle Syrian refugees in the region.

If Persian Gulf states can pay for mosques in Germany, they could pay to help Syrian refugees settle in Latin America, and use the occasion to start making up for their hypocrisy and shameless human rights records.

Safety first To the editor: The school board set up a self-policing scheme for onsite safety for school building projects. Such arrangements are invitations to cut corners. As a result, a child was seriously injured.

The same lax system is still in place. Building work should be stopped until the school board has made arrangements for proper independent inspections. The money for these inspections must be found. The safety of our children should be the school board’s highest priority.

Impressive tour To the editor: We would like to thank the participating staff of Fire Station No. 1 and those from other stations for the very interesting and informative tour on Saturday. The personnel we talked to were so friendly, courteous, and respectful that we hated to leave when the open house ended. The equipment was impressive, especially the huge fire engines.

We’re glad to have such top-notch protection in our community. Like I told several staff members, firefighters, paramedics and law enforcement officers are my heroes. Thanks so much to all of you for your dedication!

Judy Stutenroth, Lawrence

Calmer Kasold To the editor: Kasold Drive between Eighth and 14th streets needs to go on a diet, because slimming Kasold from 4 to 3 lanes is the best way to make the intersection of Kasold and Harvard Road safe and efficient and meet the needs of all users.

Option 2 — traffic signals and an increase from four to five lanes on Kasold — may seem a logical solution, but it doesn’t really help anyone, and it costs more. Cars on Kasold must still negotiate the oddly angled intersection at Harvard. Cars on Harvard have difficulty turning left onto Kasold, bicycles and pedestrians must cross a five-lane arterial, and everyone is slowed by the inefficient signals. This option costs $1 million more, and current and projected traffic loads on Kasold and

Harvard do not justify it.

Option 1 — a roundabout and three lanes — solves the problem of the intersection for every user, including cars merging to one wider lane and moving smoothly through the roundabout, and bicycles and pedestrians crossing two lanes instead of five. This section of Kasold becomes a complete street, three lanes wide, safer, more efficient, welcoming for all users, properly sized for the load, less expensive to build, operate and maintain. The neighborhood benefits from a calmer Kasold, the city saves money, traffic of every type moves more efficiently and every user is safer. In a very short time we will wonder why we hesitated.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 15, 1915: years “It looked today ago as if for the fourth IN 1915 consecutive time the efforts of the people of Douglas county to have a concerted road repairing day would be frustrated by rainy weather. Tomorrow was the day agreed on for the big road day all over the county. It may have to be called off.... The good road enthusiasts of the county had hoped for good weather, as the preliminary plans had been worked out more completely than at any previous time, and the prospects were that a solid day of much needed road repairing would put the bad places in the county highways into shape for fall travel. All the good plans appeared this afternoon to have gone by the board decidedly for the time being. The rain which began yesterday and continued today was general over the county, and there is small likelihood that there is any fortunate community where the precipitation was slight enough to make road working possible.... If the work can not be done tomorrow there will be no time to put the roads into better shape before the county fair, but the plan of improvement may be undertaken some time later in the fall.”

“The officers of the Douglas county fair are hoping that the clouded skies of this week presage a period of clear weather next week, when the exhibits of the Douglas county fair will be on view at Woodland Park. If they are favored with fair weather they expect to see one of the best attended fairs in the county’s history.

The reason is that the fairs immediately around Lawrence have been prevented or badly interfered with by wet weather.

The Franklin county fair was drowned out after the first day, and the Topeka fair is in difficulties this week. Because of this there are hundreds of people just on the edge of the territory from which Lawrence expects to draw its attendance who have as yet had no opportunity to attend a fair. If there is clear weather next week most of them may be expected at the Douglas county fair.

Greg Toppo USA TODAY

A dozen wildfires burning across a wide swath of droughtstricken California — including two of the biggest wildfires in the state’s history — are consuming hundreds of homes and forcing thousands to flee.

One person was reported dead Monday, and an unspecified number of others are “unaccounted for,” said Mark Ghilarducci, director of the California Office of Emergency Services.

By Monday, two huge fires straddling Sacramento, the state capital, had spread across multiple counties and destroyed more than 500 homes, forcing 23,000 people to flee. “These communities still are in an active firefight,” Ghilarducci said.

State officials said more than 11,000 firefighters battled blazes statewide.

California Gov. Jerry Brown said the fierce nature of the fires showed “we are really in a battle with nature, that nature is more powerful than we are.”

By Monday, the Butte Fire, which started last week in Amador County, southeast of Sacramento, had grown to more than 71,000 acres, spreading across two counties, State Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said. It was 30% contained.

The Valley Fire, northwest of Sacramento, was only 5% contained. At 61,000 acres, it was “one of the most destructive fires already this year,” he said.

The Valley Fire started Saturday, and by Monday, it was burning in three counties, including

Flames engulf a house in Seigler Springs, Calif., on Sunday. About 400 homes have been lost in the Valley Fire. More than 11,000 firefighters were at work battling blazes statewide.

Burned out vehicles surround smoldering rubble in Middletown, Calif. One person had died in the wildfires.

Napa and Sonoma, the heart of California wine country. It had destroyed as many as 1,000 structures, Berlant said.

A third fire, known as the Rough Fire, which has been burning for more than a month, had burned 138,000 acres but was

40% contained, he said.

Many of the 400 or more homes lost in the Valley Fire are in the Middletown area, where Ross Hardester owns Hardester’s Market.

The store, aided by a generator provided by the local power com-

pany, remains open to serve firefighters and locals riding out the disaster.

“You see it in their eyes,” Hardester told USA TODAY. “Some of them have lost their homes.

Some, their homes were saved.

But everyone is heartbroken.”

Four firefighters have been injured battling the blaze.

Berlant said cooler temperatures in Lake County on Tuesday, and possibly even some predicted rainfall, could produce “better conditions for us to be able to fight a fire.”

Friction, fractures await Francis Pope visits amid slow-motion crisis in the U.S. church Rick Hampson USA TODAY

T

NEW YORK

he pope is coming to town, and ordinarily parishioners of Our Lady of Peace Church would be focused on trying to get tickets to the papal Mass at Madison Square Garden. Instead, they’re focused on trying to reverse the decision to close their parish.

Our Lady of Peace is one of scores of parishes closed or merged this year by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, which Pope Francis will visit Sept. 24 after a stop in Washington and before heading to Philadelphia for the World Meeting of Families.

Parishes such as Our Lady of Peace epitomize the challenge facing Francis on his first U.S. visit: an American church in a slowmoving crisis of flagging membership, fewer priestly vocations and school and parish closings — all exacerbated by the lingering efv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Olive oil, Mediterranean diet may cut breast cancer risk Liz Szabo

@LizSzabo USA TODAY

A new study suggests there may be a way for women to dramatically reduce their risk of breast cancer, without cutting calories, losing weight or taking medication.

Women who were randomly assigned to follow a Mediterranean diet — one with lots of fruits, vegetables, olive oil and fish but not much red meat, dairy or sugar — had a 68% lower risk of breast cancer after 4.8 years, compared with women told to

follow a low-fat diet, according to the study, published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

The study’s results may be too good to be true, some experts said.

The new results come from the same Spanish study that found in 2013 that a Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of heart attack, stroke or death from heart disease by 30%.

Independent experts say the breast cancer results are far less solid. That’s partly because only 35 of 4,200 women in the study developed breast cancer, said Barnett Kramer, director of cancer prevention at the National

Mediterranean diets with olive oil have been linked to a lower risk of heart attack and now, possibly, breast cancer.

Cancer Institute, who wasn’t involved with the new study. The whopping drop in breast cancer risk came from just a handful of breast cancers.

Breast surgeon Susan Love noted that the original study — with a total of about 7,450 people — was designed to study heart disease, not breast cancer.

Extra virgin olive oil seemed to be a key part of the diet.

Researchers gave half of those following a Mediterranean diet a liter of olive oil, free of charge, every week and gave the others an ounce of mixed nuts. Both olive oil and nuts contain healthy fats believed to reduce heart

disease. Only women whose diet was supplemented with olive oil had a lower risk of breast cancer.

Women weren’t asked to eat less or exercise more. There was no significant difference in weight loss or gain among the three groups, said study co-author Miguel Martinez-Gonzalez at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain.

Love said there’s no risk to following a Mediterranean diet. “It’s not enough to say that putting olive oil on your food is enough to prevent breast cancer,” Love said.

“It’s not going to hurt you. And it will be tasty.”

Dreamforce show is tech’s hot event Jon Swartz

@jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO It’s the city’s most richly anticipated tech event.

No, not Apple’s glitzy — and largely panned — iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus introduction last Wednesday. The two-hour-plus show, staged at the fabled Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, was short on dramatics and long on time. Nearly everything announced, from new iPhone to iPad Pro and Apple TV upgrades, had been leaked or rumored.

About the only suspense involved the identity of the closing act, which turned out to be OneRepublic.

The show that has the San Francisco Bay Area buzzing is Dreamforce, a creation of Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, which begins Tuesday. It’s chock-full of top-billed bands, executive keynote speakers, celebrities and, this year, a celebrity cruise ship.

(The Dreamboat’s 1,073 cabins are sold out.)

About 150,000 are likely to attend the four-day conference this week, which contributed $226 million to the city’s economy last year, according to San Francisco Travel.

“If you have to choose one (tech) show a year, it’s this one (Dreamforce),” says Esteban Kolsky, founder of thinkJar, an advisory and research think tank focused on customer strategies. “Over the last four to five years, it’s become the place to be.”

JAKUB MOSUR, JAKUB MOSUR PHOTOGRAPHY

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff created Dreamforce. This year’s conference starts Tuesday and offers four days of celebrities, music and the latest gadgets coming to market.

Dreamforce and Apple’s annual product unveil in September headline a packed month of activities in Silicon Valley, where companies jockey for the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of consumers and businesses. Several notable events, such as the firstever Tech Inclusion conference, also tackle social issues.

The shifting fortunes of the top two September shows illustrate how cloud computing pioneer Salesforce, not Apple, has captured the zeitgeist of the tech masses when it comes to tech happenings. Think of Dreamforce, now in its 13th year, as a mini-Davos meets Woodstock, as my colleague Marco della Cava gracefully put it in his curtain raiser on the event.

A sampling of this year’s schedule shows why: Executives

“If you have to choose one (tech) show a year, it’s this one. Over the last four to five years, it’s become the place to be.”

Esteban Kolsky, founder of thinkJar

from the defending champions of baseball (San Francisco Giants) and basketball (Golden State Warriors); a fireside chat between Benioff and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick; a keynote speech from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella; and a panel featuring YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and actress Jessica Alba. The 2015 edition of the annu-

al Dreamforce concert? The Killers opening for Foo Fighters.

While Dreamforce increasingly resonates with consumers and corporations, Apple seems to be a victim of its own success and the heightened expectations of others. How, for instance, can Apple top the runaway success of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the world’s most popular smartphone? What is its next big thing — reinventing cars, the Internet of Things, virtual reality?

For now, it seems to be in stasis, riding the iPhone phenomenon for all it’s worth while chasing enterprise sales with a quilt of partnerships with Cisco Systems and IBM and the introduction of the new iPad Pro. Part of the problem may be perception.

Salesforce is on a revenue roll:

Its market cap has tripled to $45 billion since 2010, gaining the attention of several software behemoths, a number of which (Microsoft? Oracle?) might be interested in acquiring the company that Benioff built.

“Dreamforce is no longer about CRM (customer relationship management), but the future of business,” says Kristen Koh Goldstein, CEO of Scalus, maker of a cloud-based workflow and collaboration app. She singles it out as her favorite tech show among the half dozen she attends annually.

Apple faces more competition than ever: Google (twice, counting Alphabet), Facebook, Amazon.com, a resurgent Microsoft, Hulu, Netflix, perhaps Tesla. The list goes on and on.

One could add Salesforce.

Though hardly a competitor of Apple on the product side, Benioff and company are stealing the spotlight in a month Apple used to own.

Benioff, who cut his teeth in tech at Apple before making a name for himself as Larry Ellison’s protégé at Oracle, has channeled the marketing magic of Steve Jobs, with whom he forged a strong friendship.

As Dreamforce grows in size, sizzle and stature, Apple faces a challenge. It can ill afford another clunker, as Wednesday’s press conference/pep rally was viewed by many — some of whom suggested Apple tone down the hype or host fewer events.

For this month, at least, Dreamforce has put the “dream” into the Bay Area tech show experience.

fects of the clergy child abuse scandal.

“It’s great the pope is coming, but look at all the closed churches,” says Janice Dooner Lynch, whose family joined Our Lady of Peace in 1921, two years after the parish was founded.

“Our main concern now is, ‘What about us?’ ” A survey of American religious affiliation released this spring by the Pew Research Center found that Catholics make up 20.8% of the population, down from 23.9% in 2007.

For every convert, six others have left the faith. There are about 3 million fewer adult Catholics than eight years ago.

U.S. Catholic school enrollment has declined from its peak of more than 5.2 million students 50 years ago to about 2 million.

In the past 10 years, 1,648 Catholic elementary and secondary schools — about a fifth of the total — have closed or consolidated.

Several schools in regions the pope will visit closed at the end of the past school year, including Pius X High School in Bangor, Pa., which closed after six decades, and Most Precious Blood Elementary in Astoria, Queens, which was whipsawed by rising building costs and declining enrollment.

There are about 20,000 fewer U.S. Catholic priests than in 1965, a 34% drop, even though the Catholic population is 50% larger.

The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate in Washington says about 3,500 of 17,500 parishes have no resident priest, twice as many as 25 years ago. This year, the four parishes in Atlantic City were consolidated into one.

There is almost no evidence of what some had hopefully called “the Francis effect,” such as a measurable surge in Mass attendance or church affiliation because of the pope’s popularity.

U.S. Catholics may see Francis as their best hope for reversing the national church’s institutional slide. In a poll in August by the Public Religion Research Institute and Religion News Service, eight in 10 respondents said the pope understands the needs and views of the American Catholic community somewhat or very well. Only six in 10 Catholics said the same of U.S. bishops.

Hope is one thing. What can a pope whose humility, piety and candor have made him a hero to non-Christians around the world actually do to shore up his own church in America?

“That’s the big question. The

Pope Francis celebrates his first Mass as head of the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics on March 14, 2013, at the Vatican.

N.Y. officials condemn scalping of pope tickets It may be like trying to stop water from running downhill, but New York lawmakers — upset that scalpers are trying to sell tickets to see Pope Francis’ motorcade during his visit to New York City on Sept. 25 — want to crack down on resales.

About 80,000 tickets were dispersed through a city-led lottery for the pope’s procession through Central Park.

Tickets were being sold on secondary markets such as eBay and Craigslist for hundreds and, in a few cases, thousands of dollars soon after lottery winners were notified.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Roman Catholic archbishop of answer is, ‘Not enough,’ ” says David Campbell, a Notre Dame political scientist and co-author of American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us. “The pope is very popular, but almost everyone experiences religion in their local congregation, and there aren’t changes yet at that level.”

New York, says the tickets were free for a reason: to give as many people as possible the chance to join in the pope’s visit, including those with “modest means.” He says scalping them “goes against everything Pope Francis stands for.”

Since taking office, Pope Francis has talked of creating “a church for the poor” and has consistently emphasized his concern for the socially and economically marginalized.

State Sen. Daniel Squadron and Assemblyman Michael Cusick have urged bans on ticket resales for non-profit events.

‘WHO AM I TO JUDGE?’

Francis has become one of the world’s most fascinating public figures since his election in March 2013 after Pope Benedict XVI unexpectedly retired.

His appeal stems from his

openness, humility and relative informality. He lives in a modest guesthouse instead of the lavish papal apartments; he spontaneously telephones rank-and-file Catholics; he tweets.

Flying to Rome after World Youth Day in Brazil, he told reporters, “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?” He said the church shouldn’t seem “obsessed” about wedge issues such as abortion and homosexuality: “We have to find a new balance.”

In his first appointment to fill a major U.S. post, Francis named Spokane Bishop Blasé Cupich to replace retiring conservative Cardinal Francis George as archbishop in Chicago. Cupich had a reputation as a moderate, conciliatory prelate who had asked his priests not to pray in front of abortion clinics because it was too provocative.

This all has encouraged church moderates and discouraged traditionalists.

The net result seems to be something like this: Moderates are hopeful but unhappy with the church on the ground, which is still controlled by traditionalists; conservatives still respect the papacy but are increasingly worried about Francis’ liberal tendencies.

PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE

Our Lady of Peace’s redbrick, 1866-vintage building closed July 31 after the parish was merged with another on Manhattan’s East Side. Janice Dooner Lynch and others have candlelit prayer vigils outside, and they’ve set up a life-size, stand-up poster of the pope with which passersby can pose for photos.

Given the parish’s closing, the pope’s U.S. visit is “a bittersweet occasion,’’ says Jessica Bede, a third-generation parishioner and spokeswoman for parishioners who want the church reopened.

She says they hope the Vatican, where Francis yields ultimate power, will rule this year in favor of their appeal.

Lynch was married there, as were her grandparents and her parents. She, her daughter, her mother and her uncle were baptized there. The funerals of her father and grandparents were held there.

Last year, it was classified as an “unneeded” parish.

“We have too many parishes!”

Cardinal Timothy Dolan wrote in an exclamation-packed pastoral letter. “We no longer need 368

parishes in their current locations! … There are 29 parishes in the South Manhattan Vicariate alone — all concentrated on 14th Street or below!”

Dolan said that although his archdiocese has been spending $40 million a year to support such parishes, it’s not just money — the archdiocese will soon face a critical shortage of priests to administer its parishes and must consolidate.

To Lynch, there’s always hope unless the parishioners’ appeal is denied.

She wishes Pope Francis would take an interest in the case during his visit, although she admits that — given the number of parishes being closed — that would take a miracle.

Still, she says, “this has caused so much heartache and anger. So I pray all the time that this comes to his attention.”

DELTA STATE PROFESSOR GUNNED DOWN Shooting could be related to another killing in Mississippi Therese Apel

The (Jackson, Miss.) Clarion-Ledger

and John Bacon USA TODAY

Tragedy struck a Mississippi university poised to celebrate its 90th anniversary when a history teacher was fatally shot in his office, authorities said Monday. Police looked for another school employee in the shooting.

Delta State University was placed on lockdown Monday amid reports of an active shooter on the Cleveland, Miss., campus. The campus remained on lockdown

Monday evening, but the university tweeted that students should report to the dining hall from 5 to 8 p.m. to re-enter residence halls.

Authorities identified the victim as Ethan Schmidt, an assistant history professor. State, city and Delta State police, along with the Bolivar County Sheriff’s Department, were on campus, looking for his killer, the school said.

Cleveland Police Chief Charles “Buster” Bingham said Monday that authorities identified Shannon Lamb as a “person of interest” in the shooting.

Bingham said police had information suggesting Lamb may have been involved in another slaying in the south Mississippi city of Gautier, about 300 miles away.

The university tweeted late Monday afternoon that the person

of interest in the shooting may have been driving a black Dodge Avenger with Stone County, Miss., tag STF015.

Gautier police spokesman Matthew Hoggatt told The Sun Herald newspaper that a woman was found dead in her home in Gautier and that Lamb was the suspect in her death.

“We’re working right now under the assumption that both events are related,” Hoggatt said. “We hope that they are not. But at this point in time, information indicates that they probably are linked in some way, shape or form.”

University spokeswoman Jennifer Farish said the Delta State lockdown began shortly before 11 a.m. Monday.

he snowpack in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains this year has fallen to its lowest level in at least the past 500 years, according to a study published Monday in Nature Climate Change, a peer-reviewed British journal.

The finding underscores the severe drought afflicting the state, now in its fourth year, and raises the prospect of more water shortages that could impact agriculture and hydroelectric power production, and exacerbate wildfires.

“Our study really points to the extreme character of the 2014-15 winter,” said study lead author Valerie Trouet of the Univeristy of Arizona’s Laboratory of TreeRing Research.

Where there is usually about 5 feet of snow, there was bare ground at the snow survey site in the Sierra on April 1.

“This is not just unprecedented over 80 years — it’s unprecedented over 500 years,” she said.

The Sierra Nevada snowpack plays a critical role in replenishing the state’s water reservoirs and provides 30% of the state’s water supply, according to the study.

Though actual snowpack measurements have been taken in California over the past few decades, climate scientists need to use other methods, known as proxies, to determine weather

Trouet used one species of tree — the blue oak — to determine precipitation, and a variety of other species to determine temperature. By cross-referencing the data sets, they could see how much snow fell each winter.

The trees aren’t harmed by the testing, as the scientists bore holes in the tree and pull out a chunk to look at the rings.

“We should be prepared for this type of snow drought to occur much more frequently because of rising temperatures,” Trouet said.

She added that man-made global warming is making the drought in California more severe.

IN BRIEF GERMAN MINISTER: EU TO RELOCATE 160K MIGRANTS

European Union nations have “agreed in principle” to relocate across the continent 160,000 refugees from Italy, Greece and Hungary, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters Monday after a meeting of EU ministers.

Meanwhile, the European Union Council reached a preliminary agreement to redistribute over the next two years 32,000 refugees from Italy and Greece, primary gateways for a flood of migrants pouring into Europe.

The council aims to raise that figure to 40,000 by December.

The United Nations Refugee Agency estimates Europe has been flooded this year with more than 410,000 refugees and migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan.

Australia will have a new prime minister Tuesday after Tony Abbott lost a Liberal Party leadership challenge to former communications minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Turnbull won 54 votes to 44 at the internal party ballot Monday at Parliament House in the capital Canberra, and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was voted in as deputy Liberal leader, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported.

Turnbull, who was ousted as leader of the party by Abbott in 2009, will become Australia’s fourth prime minister in just over two years, when Kevin Rudd succeeded Julia Gillard in June 2013.

He said “his assumption” was that the Parliament would serve its full term, implying no snap election.

GREG WOOD, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Malcolm Turnbull, right, who was minister of communications, defeated Tony Abbott, left, 54-44 in an internal party vote Monday.

The change in leadership does not undermine the security of the government, which commands a clear majority in the House of Representatives, where parties form government. Any no-confidence motion proposed by the opposition Labor Party against the new prime minister would be doomed to failure.

Turnbull resigned from the Cabinet earlier Monday before meeting with Abbott and declaring his intentions to challenge him for the leadership, as the 2year-old conservative coalition government struggles in polls.

Speaking to reporters after the vote, Turnbull said the nation owes a “great debt” to Abbott and said he would lead a “thoroughly Liberal government committed to freedom, the individual and the market,” ABC reported.

“The burden of leadership is a very heavy one. Tony has discharged that as leader of the party and, of course, as prime minister over many years now and the achievements of the government that he has led have been formidable,” he added, according to the broadcaster.

Unlike Abbott, Turnbull, 60, supports gay marriage, wants Australia to replace Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II as head of state with an Australian president and backs a policy of making polluters pay for their carbon gas emissions. Abbott’s ouster continues a volatile period in Australian federal politics, especially as the Liberals were elected in 2013 as a stable alternative to the Labor-controlled government.

German automaker to unveil 600-horsepower electric sports concept Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

Porsche, the German automaker synonymous with fast, sexy cars, is going to show Tuesday that it’s getting serious about electric cars.

In showing its new Mission E concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it joins a list of other famous European brands in say-

ing the timing is finally right for electrics and are going after the leader, Caifornia’s Tesla Motors.

As envisioned, Mission E would be near the top of the pack in the electric-car performance game, packing the equivalent of 600 horsepower. Running entirely on advanced batteries, the car will be able to travel 310 miles on a single charge and be recharged up to 80% capacity in 15 minutes.

It will be able to go from zero to 62 miles per hour in less than 3.5 seconds. Porsche says it will become a production car within the next five years.

“We have to prepare for the future, and now we believe the time

is right for that,” says Wolfgang Hatz, Porsche’s research and de-

velopment chief.

Porsche isn’t alone. Audi will show an e-tron quattro electric crossover concept at the Frankfurt show that could compete with Tesla’s similar model, which comes to U.S. highways at the end

of the month. And Aston Martin said it will have its own electric version of its Rapide sedan that will be priced even higher than the premium Tesla Model S. Hatz says electric-car batteries are robust enough for 300-mile range, not the sub-100-mile cars most automakers have been offering on a limited basis. Charging systems, he adds, needed to become fast enough to prevent drivers from tapping their toes while their cars juice up.

Porsche also has experience with electric hybrid powerplants.

It has been selling the 918, a plugin hybrid supercar and has been touting its 919 hybrid race car.

Apple said customer reaction to the new smartphones — made available for pre-order Saturday — has been “extremely positive.” Said Apple spokeswoman Trudy Miller: “We are on pace to beat last year’s 10 million unit first-weekend record when the new iPhones go on sale Sept. 25.”

“A rate hike, with a stroke, ends this era,” is the way Michael Hartnett, a global investment strategist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch describes the coming change in Fed policy.

Some fear taking the economy off of so-called life support will cause market turmoil. Others say that scenario goes too far.

“The latest bugaboo is one that has often been associated with corrections or the onset of bear markets: the start of a Fed rate hike cycle and rising bond yields,” Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management, said in a recent report titled, Rising Rates Shouldn’t End This Bull Market. “Many investors,” Doll wrote, “believe that when rates rise, the party is over for stock prices. Historically, however, this has not been the case.”

Historical data from the past six rate-tightening cycles back up his claim. While two of the six cycles saw stocks lower a year after the initial rate hike, the average gain for the S&P 500 in all six periods was 2.6%. And two years after hike No. 1 the market was 14.4% higher, Doll’s data show.

Still, he points out there were bumps along the way. The stock market, on average, suffers a peak-to-trough decline of roughly 10% in post, rate-hike trading.

“Many investors believe that when rates rise, the party is over for stock prices. Historically, however, this has not been the case.”

Bob Doll, Nuveen Asset Management, in a recent report

If stocks do take a hit when the Fed hikes, it likely will be a shortlived drop and “prove to be an excellent buying opportunity,” Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, argued in a report that stressed rate hikes “should be welcomed, not loathed.” His data show that corporate profits, U.S. economic growth and S&P 500 performance in the past five ratehike cycles have performed better than normal when the Fed is tightening, as those periods typically occur when the economy is doing well.

What could dampen volatility this time around, market pros say, is that the Fed has said it will raise rates slowly in an attempt to minimize market disruption.

There is a belief on Wall Street that the Fed will hike rates at every other meeting, a pace that is half the usual pace. In short, the speed and magnitude of tightening is most important.

The Fed’s current rate-hike cycle is also starting with yields (pegged at 0% to 0.25%) at much lower levels than the start of past tightening cycles. In the previous six rate-hike cycles, the Fed’s benchmark borrowing cost, known as the Fed Funds rate, was closer to 5%, on average, according to Nuveen Asset Management.

The takeaway: Interest rates have a lot of room to run higher before becoming a major drag on economic growth.

Bank investors keep close eye on Fed Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Two groups that will be watching the Federal Reserve with especially close attention this week are the nation’s lenders and their investors — both of whom have been waiting for higher rates to turbocharge sagging loan profits.

“This is the first time since I’ve covered banks that everyone has wanted rates to go up because it will be beneficial to the bottom line,” said hedge fund manager Fred Cummings, who has been investing in bank stocks for 26

The Federal Reserve could raise interest rates this week.

years. “Historically, when rates go up, it’s a negative,” said Cummings, portfolio manager at Elizabeth Park Capital, a $284 million fund that focuses solely on

bank stocks.

The Federal Reserve’s highly anticipated policy meeting to discuss interest rates kicks off Wednesday.

If the Fed pushes rates higher over the next few years, it could greatly benefit banks — especially lenders heavily invested in shortterm and variable-rate loans.

Large banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America will be among the biggest beneficiaries due to their large credit-card and home-equity loan portfolios, said Chris Mutascio, a banking analyst with Wall Street firm Keefe Bruyette & Woods. But regional banks could also benefit,

especially those heavily invested in shorter-term commercial loans, experts said.

Commercial loans, or loans to help businesses fund their operations, tend to reflect changes in interest rates more quickly than mortgages, Cummings said. The portfolio manager said he sees most commercial loans reflecting higher interest rates within 12 months, vs. three to five years for most real-estate loans.

Regional banks Cummings sees benefiting most: Fifth Third Bank, SunTrust, Zion Bancorp, Comerica and Preferred Bank.

Mutascio pointed to KeyCorp and PNC for similar reasons.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street is in wait-and-see mode.

The Federal Reserve decision on whether to hike interest rates will hit the newswires at 2 p.m.

ET Thursday.

Until then all investors can do is watch, wait and play the Wall Street parlor game: Will they or won’t they?

Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Stifel, says the two-day September Fed meeting that kicks off Wednesday has much wider appeal than folks realize.

“Forget the Super Bowl or the Presidential election,” she says.

“Next week’s Fed meeting is arguably the most widely anticipated event in the aftermath of the Great Recession.”

Investors still waiting for burst to happen Q: Is biotech a bubble?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors are watching the Fed closely this week — and not just because there’s a chance of a hike in short-term interest rates. Investors are also curious if the Fed will talk about stocks — including biotech.

In July 2014, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen first warned investors of what she saw as a biotech stock bubble.

In testimony, she said she was seeing a bubble in “smaller firms in the social media and biotechnology industries.”

Even since, investors have been fearing a biotech-stock implosion that never seems to happen. The Nasdaq Biotechnology Index is up more than 400% from the time its powerful rally began back in March 2009, Bespoke Investment Group says. While biotechs have pulled back about 10% along with the broad market the last few weeks, the Nasdaq biotech index still is up nearly 30% over the past 12 months.

Some have drawn parallels between biotech and past bubbles. There was the tech stocks bubble that started in the mid-1990s and homebuilder stocks starting in 2000.

But biotechs haven’t performed anywhere near those two assets. More than 1,600 trading days into the rally, biotechs are up about 400%. At their peaks, the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 was up more than 1,100% and homebuilders were up more than 800%, Bespoke says.

Symphony to retain trader chats amid regulator pressure Wall Street banks reach deal with messaging service Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Goldman Sachs and three other banks have agreed that Symphony, Wall Street’s new secretive messaging service, will retain copies of their chats amid pressure from a New York banking regulator.

The New York State Depart-

JUSTIN LANE, EPA

Symphony, the brainchild of Goldman Sachs, is expected to replace Bloomberg’s messaging service.

ment of Financial Services (NYDFS) said Goldman, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and Bank of New York Mellon have agreed that Symphony — Wall Street’s version of WhatsApp — will retain extra copies of all ecommunications to and from the banks for seven years, the regulator said in a press release.

The banks will also store duplicate copies of the decryption keys for their messages with independent custodians, or someone not controlled by the banks, NYDFS said.

Symphony, which is slated to roll out officially Tuesday, seeks

to win business by promising a secure, encrypted messaging service — including guaranteed data deletion. This concerned regulators who helped to uncover a massive rate manipulation scheme using instant e-chats from traders. “im like a whores drawers,” a Royal Bank of Scotland trader was revealed saying when British regulators released the bank’s digital chats in 2013 as part of a widespread rate-rigging investigation. The comment, which connotes waffling, was made in response to a colleague asking him to make up his mind about

LOS ANGELES

ilming a movie about the tragic 1996 expedition to the summit of Mount Everest, in which eight climbers died during a surprise storm, was a challenging prospect.

Director Baltasar Kormákur led an ensemble of actors including Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin and Jake Gyllenhaal through a tough four-month shoot that involved dealing with their own storms, daily avalanche warnings (and one avalanche-destroyed set) and subzero temperatures.

The effort to tell a powerful story and shoot a spectacle suitable for IMAX 3-D (where it opens exclusively Friday, in theaters nationwide Sept. 25) was enough to impress even Method-mad star Gyllenhaal, who portrays Everest guide Scott Fischer.

“There’s a difference between pain and injury. Balt hired people who knew the difference,” Gyllenhaal says. “He assembled a group excited about getting in the elements for real.”

Gyllenhaal says one moment when he particularly “pushed the edge” was during a key scene in which his perilously frozen Fischer pulls off layers and even his glove because of the severe mental effects of hypothermia.

It was shot 10,000 feet high in Italy’s Dolomite Mountains, the only mountains Kormákur felt could represent Everest, the

“The hardest thing to do was just not move in that weather,” Gyllenhaal says.

“Then (Kormákur) is like ‘Let’s go!’ and he’s throwing ice and snow on me. And we shoot it.”

Gyllenhaal’s discolored and frozen mucus-filled features were photographed as the cold ideal for the rest of the shoot.

“They took reference pictures of my face. It was like we want the snot like that every time.”

Clarke still feels some numbness in his hand after a radio literally froze to his gloved appendage during multiple takes in frigid weather.

“I couldn’t let go. I had been up there too long,” says Clarke, who plays Rob Hall. “I had to get some help to get it off me.”

Even creating full Everest storms and night scenes in London’s Pinewood Studios, which required 100-mph wind fans and blown salt as snow, had its perils. Brolin spent a day and a half 35 feet above the ground shooting the scene where his Beck Weathers falls off a ladder bridging a crevasse.

“I fell no less than 150 times.

From every different angle. It was like, ‘Let’s do it again,’ ” Brolin says. “The bruise on my thigh was huge and pure black.”

Kormákur says it was vital to depict the mountain, the elements and the struggle of each climber.

“I wanted to make a movie with scope and a unique view of Everest,” he says. “I’m very proud. I pushed all the limits I could on this.”

“You can see the snow blow over us as the storm comes in.

The side of my face is in the snow for the shot.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger replaces Trump in the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ boardroom Maria Puente @usatmpuente USA TODAY

Movie star-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger will replace mogul-turned-politician Donald Trump on The Celebrity Apprentice, NBC announced Monday.

Although he’s not a billionaire like Trump, the former California governor is a good fit for the show, which will return for the 2016-17 season, the network said.

As governor for two terms, Schwarzenegger managed “more than 300,000 state employees and a state budget in the hundreds of billions,” the press release said. “He has successfully invested in both real estate and sports franchises, and is known to millions globally for his starring role in the Terminator film fran-

chise. His films, over a six-decade career, have grossed billions of dollars in worldwide box office.”

The news generated tweets spoofing the show’s signature line: “You’re fired!” Others pointed out that Trump, who has railed against undocumented immigrants from Mexico, is being replaced on the show by an immigrant from Austria.

Schwarzenegger issued a statement and tweeted his delight. “I have always been a huge fan of The Celebrity Apprentice and the way it showcases the challenges and triumphs of business and teamwork. I am thrilled to bring my experience to the boardroom and to continue to raise millions for charity. Let’s get started!”

Schwarzenegger, 68, who left office in 2011, has recently revived his movie career, including starring in another Terminator movie, Terminator Genisys.

KEVIN LEE, GETTY IMAGES

Let’s get started!” Schwarzenegger declared Monday.

Trump tweeted about the Schwarzenegger news, even though he’s busy being the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president. “Congrats to

my friend @Schwarzenegger who is doing next season’s Celebrity Apprentice. He’ll be great & will raise lots of $ for charity.”

Trump’s burgeoning political career is also one of the reasons he’s no longer the host of The Celebrity Apprentice.

NBC “fired” Trump in July, after his presidential announcement in June included inflammatory rhetoric about Mexico and Mexicans. Besides Apprentice, the network and the real estate mogul also shared ownership of the Miss Universe Organization, including the annual Miss Universe pageant.

“Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” the network said at the time.

IT MAY BE INSTINCTUAL TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR ILLNESS OR INJURY, but sometimes an urgent care visit or trip to a primary care physician may be a better choice. Many urgent care facilities can treat problems such as broken bones.

Different medical situations call for different care

mergency rooms are there to take care of people. But are they always the best place for someone who needs medical care?

Health care professionals agree that different situations involve different levels of care; sometimes the ER is the right place, and other times an urgent care visit or a primary care doctor’s help are in order.

Patti Doncouse, director of the Emergency Department at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, doesn’t want to rule out anyone coming to the emergency room. “Your emergency is our emergency,” she said.

There are a number of symptoms that

“Your emergency is our emergency.”

— Patti Doncouse, director of the Emergency Department at Lawrence Memorial Hospital

would necessitate an emergency room visit, Doncouse said. An acute onset of confusion, chest pains or stroke symptoms such as sudden loss of vision or weakness in the face, arm or leg on one side all constitute signs that you should go to the emergency room.

“All of those things can be life threatening,” Doncouse said. “And I would recommend you call 911, activate EMS and come

to emergency.”

Calling 911 is an important step in the process for someone having serious symptoms because first responders can start lifesaving care immediately, such as an IV, oxygen or EKG. Also, it wouldn’t be advisable for anyone experiencing acute health problems to drive to the emergency room, Doncouse said.

There are costs associated with choosing emergency care. The city of Lawrence has fees for ambulance service through Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical that start at $476 for basic life support services, not including mileage fees. Whether insurance covers any or all of those services and fees depends on the individual policy.

Program helps older drivers stay behind the wheel

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Older drivers are often safe drivers, according to the American Association of Retired Persons. Statistically, they are the most likely to use seat belts and the least likely to speed or to drink and drive.

As a group, though, senior drivers are at a higher risk of having a serious collision per mile driven than any other age group except for those under age 25. Drivers in their late 70s have about the same number of injuryinvolved crashes per mile driven as drivers in their early 20s. Drivers age 85

and older are injured or killed in crashes at a higher rate than any other age group.

This is because many older drivers are more physically fragile than

their younger counterparts and generally less able to withstand the impact of a crash. In addition, older adults typically don’t recover from injuries as quickly as they once did.

With aging, many important components of driving skills can change.

These include vision,

hearing, reaction time and mental fitness. In addition, certain medical conditions and medications can adversely affect driving abilities and thus increase the risk of an older driver being in a traffic crash.

Dear Dr. Wes and Gabe: I recently saw this tweet on @wescrenshawphd: “If a teen wants to put her life online, why wouldn’t she want a parent to see it?”

But when I was a teen, I wanted privacy and to share my thoughts with friends — not my parents. Isn’t that normal for teens in real life or online?

Wes: It’s more than normal. Most teens treat privacy from parents as if it were a God-given right, which it is not, at least prior to the age of 18. That tweet came from a 2009 column Samantha Schwartz and I did. It’s remarkable how parent and teen perspectives on this issue have changed since. Today, the average teen “privately” posts on and interacts with media at a rate we could not have imagined just a few years ago.

Here’s the problem with your analysis. Some forms of communication are designed to be (sort of) private: texting, instant messenger, phone calls (as if anyone actually did that now) and video chats. I say “sort of” because even these conversations are easily preserved and passed on, sometimes at the touch of a button.

But for the purposes of this discussion, these media have at least an expectation of privacy and parent eavesdropping should happen only in extraordinary circumstances, usually a threat to safety.

Surgeon general calls for healthy walking CarFit The Associated Press

Take a walk: That’s the U.S. surgeon general’s prescription for sedentary Americans — but communities will have to step up, too, and make neighborhoods easier and safer for foot traffic.

Only half of adults and just more than a quarter of high school students get the amount of physical activity recommended for good health, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said in a “call to action” being issued Wednesday.

No worries if you can’t join a gym or run a 10K. Walking is a simple, affordable way to get the needed exercise, Murthy said — if people have a place to do it.

“I firmly believe that everybody in America needs a safe place to walk or to wheelchair roll,” Murthy said in an interview, urging a range of groups to work together to create walkable communities.

Some things to know about the surgeon general’s walking campaign:

tivity reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and a list of other health problems — and can ease symptoms and improve quality of life for people already living with chronic diseases.

Guidelines issued in 2008 recommend that adults get at least two and a half hours a week of moderately intense physical activity.

To get your heart rate up, Murthy says walking should be brisk enough that you can still talk but not sing.

The barriers People often say there’s no time in their busy days to exercise, and their environment can make it harder to fit activity into everyday routine.

In many places, schools, restaurants and shops are located too far from home for people to walk. Busy streets may lack sidewalks, or there may not be adequate time to cross multiple lanes of traffic. Parents who live near schools still often cite traffic danger.

Neighborhood crime Walking really counts may be a factor in deterRegular physical ac- ring walks. Older adults

may fear falls.

The goals The surgeon general wants communities to make it easier and safer for people of all ages and abilities to walk where they live, learn, work and play — and to encourage them to get moving.

That will require efforts from transportation officials and city planners, parks and schools, businesses and health officials, and the public, his report makes clear. Options range from zoning decisions and building sidewalks, to promoting worksite activity. Murthy, for example, likes to hold some meetings while taking a walk.

The reaction Millennials in particular are pushing for walkable communities, and Murthy’s call may help them work with local and regional officials to overcome policy barriers, such as zoning laws, said Scott Bricker, executive director of America Walks, a nonprofit network of health and other organizations that pushed for the move.

Efforts toward walkability in Lawrence The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has taken strides to incorporate safe places to walk as part of its “Roadmap to a Healthier Douglas County” community health plan.

The plan, presented in 2013 after a yearlong assessment, focuses on five community health goals, including physical activity.

That goal, according to the health plan, is “to create an environment and culture, through policy and systems change, that makes physical activity easier and more rewarding for people of all ages and abilities.”

Among the strategies the Health Department outlined to help increase physical activity are to make it easier for residents to get to their everyday destinations by walking, biking, or using public transit and to encourage activity at

work through programs and partnerships.

The Health Department also has been an integral part of the movement to help children find safe routes to school. The Be Active Safe Routes program aims to create safe opportunities for children to bike and walk to and from schools. The goal is to get children moving and to reverse the growing rate of childhood obesity.

In 1969, approximately 50 percent of children in the United States walked or biked to school.

Currently, less than 15 percent do. As a result, kids today are less active, less independent and less healthy, according to the Health Department’s Safe Routes website.

“The research is pretty clear that kids who walk and bike to school are more active. They will

be healthier and perform better in school,” Community Health Director Chris Tilden said on the site.

The Health Department, in conjunction with the LiveWell Lawrence coalition, the Lawrence Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization, the city of Lawrence and Lawrence public schools, did a community survey in fall 2014 and released the results at a presentation in January. The study showed students are enthusiastic about walking and biking.

The agency presented strategies from engineering to education as ways to create safe routes to school for all students in Lawrence.

Lawrence public schools will participate in International Walk to School Day on Oct. 7.

And generally, care provided by Emergency Department staff will cost more than care provided by a primary care doctor.

“We are very efficient in the emergency department,” Doncouse said. “We can provide care within two to three hours that would take four to seven days at the doctor’s office.”

However, she does not want to discourage anyone from choosing the Emergency Department.

A patient is assessed by a triage nurse on arrival, and care can be directed from there depending on the patient’s needs.

“There aren’t really unnecessary visits, but there are some that can be managed at a lower level of care,” she said.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital has a service in the Emergency Department called Fast Track that is staffed by a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant who are overseen by the Emergency Department physicians.

“Those patients who maybe have a lower triage level who are not acutely ill can be seen by those providers and can be seen quicker,” Doncouse said.

THIS WEEK ONLY!

rence Memorial Hospital Emergency Department is now offering this program to the community.

At a CarFit event, a team of trained technicians and health professionals works with participants individually to ensure they “fit” their vehicles properly for maximum comfort and safety.

Car Fit is not a driving test or a mechanical inspection. A CarFit check takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Some of the 12 key areas that may be checked include proper fit of the seat belt, steering wheel tilt, position to air bag and head restraint, the distance between the chest and steering wheel, line-of-sight above the steering wheel, position to gas and brake pedals, mirror adjustments, neck mobility for blind spot check, and more. Participants also will learn how to use and adjust their

safety devices.

LMH will offer its first CarFit event from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept.

26. Advance appointments are required and are limited in number. To make an appointment, go to lmh.org/car-fit or you may call LMH Connect Care at 505-5800.

The CarFit checks will take place in the parking lot of the Fourth Street Health Plaza Building, 1130 W. Fourth St., and participants must bring their own personal vehicles.

plexity, including bronchitis, pneumonia, fractures and infections.

He said the clinic fills a need for patients who are generally healthy people.

“A lot of our patients don’t even have a primary care. They just come to us when they feel sick,” he said.

Urgent care typically does not require an appointment, and clinics are usually open after business hours, seven days a week.

He recommended prospective patients check their insurance before coming in.

“No one bills them as a family practice, so it does generally have a higher co-pay,” Elo said.

Primary care doctors should still be the first line of defense for patients, and Doncouse recommends that everyone have one.

“If someone has an established relationship with a primary care physician, and have symptoms of a cough, cold, rash — maybe just haven’t been feeling good for a couple days — that would be great to call their primary care physician,” Doncouse said.

People with primary care physicians have better experiences and better outcomes when they do have to visit the emergency room, Doncouse said.

And, she said, “They’re great resources.”

This makes for a very different message than what’s found on sites like Twitter and Instagram: short, precise statements that aren’t usually per-

Snapchat seems like a privacy paradise for teenagers because of this.

You can control who sees what you snap, and even what you post — just don’t friend them if you don’t want them to see it. Add in the paucity of parents with Snapchat accounts, and privacy from authoritative eyes is easy to obtain. It’s built into the app itself, not by design of its users.

Snaps and Stories can be recorded by taking a screenshot. This is the

one hole in Snapchat’s sense of privacy between friends.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Well-off widow must make her money last Dear Annie: Last summer, our family spent all of our time helping my newly widowed mother-in-law fix up her large home, which had become run down during her husband’s long illness.

During one of the days I took off to help, she backed into the side of our car. The repair estimate was $1,000, but she didn’t want to claim it on her insurance for fear her rates would go up. My husband didn’t want to ask her to pay, so we drove around with a giant dent in our car. Last week, our car was totaled in an accident and the value we received was reduced due to the prior damage.

My husband and I work jobs with low wages, and my motherin-law often talks about how she’s investing her half-million dollars. Am

I wrong to think she should pay for the damage she caused to our car while we were fixing her home? — Trying Not to be Resentful Dear Trying: We understand why you expected Mom to pay for the damage, and she should have offered to do so. Nonetheless, we are asking you to think of this with compassion. Mom is widowed and her ability to generate income is undoubtedly reduced. That

Oblivious drama fails to execute Disclosure: I’m probably the last guy who should be reviewing a show like “The Bastard Executioner” (9 p.m., FX).

Why? Because when I even start thinking about a drama involving a medieval warrior fated to wield his mighty sword in search of justice and guided by a mystic healer, well, I just start to snicker. Is this a mash-up of shows and movies like “Braveheart,” “The 300,” ‘‘Game of Thrones” and “Vikings”? Or a parody?

It’s definitely not a spoof.

There’s nary a moment of intentional mirth to be found — unless you count the scene of the evil taxcollecting tyrant grunting away on his dark-age privy, or the joyless sex talk of an angry nobleman complaining about his barren wife’s heirless womb.

Taken without irony, it’s pretty grim stuff.

It all starts in 14th century Wales. Wilkin Brattle (Lee Jones) has violent dreams filled with portents. A vision of a Tinker Bell-like figure bereft of pants gives way to the hisses of an angry dragon. One, or both, hints at his bloody destiny in a battlefield filled with videogamelike violence. Just in case Brattle’s confused, his wife’s midwife and all-around witchy woman Annora (Katey Sagal) is there to explain it to him.

I’m not completely allergic to ultra-violent medieval hacking and whacking. “Vikings” is a guilty pleasure of mine. This just seems, well, silly. It doesn’t help that a lot of the old-timey English/Welsh dialogue is incomprehensible.

Subtitles might help, and they would give this “Bastard” some gravitas.

But like I explained, I’m not the best judge of this crowded genre. Help yourself.

Disney becomes an avuncular figure to the baby boom generation with both animated and live-action movies, and on TV with “The Mickey Mouse Club” and “Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color.” He also becomes the symbol and host of destination theme parks on both coasts as the “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS) profile “Walt Disney” concludes.

Tonight’s other highlights

The top 10 talents offer their final performances on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC).

The Wayans brothers star in the 2000 spoof “Scary Movie” (7 p.m., Fox).

The search for a cure hits a roadblock on the season finale of “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS).

An uneasy double date on “Public Morals” (9 p.m., TNT).

An adolescent boy bonds with his cranky neighbor (Bill Murray) in the 2014 comedy “St. Vincent” (9 p.m., Sho 2).

“half-million dollar” investment has to last her the rest of her life, while you and your husband will continue to earn.

Discuss this with your husband and come to a mutual decision. He is obviously reluctant to ask Mom to pay for this, and perhaps it would be easier to ask her to split the cost. Whatever happens, please allow your husband to deal with this as he sees fit, and do your best to forget the rest. It won’t help to dwell on it.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “No One to Share This With,” about her husband continually watching porn. Her husband is likely a sex addict and his wife is 100 percent correct that he is likely filled with shame.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Sept. 15: This year luck seems to follow you. Even if you feel you have made a bad decision, you will change your opinions given some time. If you are single, you have quite a few choices of potential sweeties. If you are attached, the two of you may make a major purchase that could change your lives.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You don’t need to ask for feedback. Do your own factchecking. Tonight: Curb sarcasm.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your playfulness emerges because of your humor in what seems to be an impossible situation. Choose words with care.

Tonight: Find a friend.

Something in his life will need to completely fall apart before he is willing to ask for help.

Once he does, a 12-step meeting, and possibly a certified sex addiction therapist, can help him tremendously.

Berry writes second chapter Break with the crack of the bat, gracefully sprint toward the center-field wall, look over his shoulder and catch a baseball that everyone on hand with a scorebook and pencil already had marked a double? Easy.

Same for catching up to a pass thrown by a college quarterback.

But write a book? And not a scorebook, but a novel?

“I was very poor in English,” said twoBerry time Gold Glove center fielder and Topeka resident Ken Berry. “I didn’t know how to put a sentence together.”

We’ll take his word for that, but that was a long, long time ago. Two major steps later toward correcting that problem, Berry, an author of several children’s books, has self-published his first novel, entitled “Twin Snipers.”

The seeds of Berry’s writing career came from the library of his youth, where he said he would check out several books a week in junior high and into high school, where he was the best athlete at Washburn Rural High in Topeka, from which he graduated in 1959.

“I love to read,” said Berry, 74. “I have some authors I read that I can’t wait for their next book to come out.”

He counted the late Vince Flynn among his favorites, has read all 13 of his political thrillers and eagerly awaits the release of his 14th, finished by another author after Flynn’s death.

“I’ll read them, and a year or two later pick them up and read them again,” Berry said.

He planted more seeds toward becoming an author with the steps he took down the aisle when he married Aleda, his wife of 39 years.

She edits his books. Andy Valdivia, a retired high school art teacher in Topeka, illustrates them.

Berry said his inspiration for writing “Twin Snipers,” which went on sale on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble. com, TwinSnipers.com and other outlets last week, came from an interview he witnessed on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity.”

Berry said host Sean Hannity interviewed a guest who “did the interview with the lights turned down low and filmed from behind. He had a ranch 20 miles from the border and said he had drug runners coming through his property two or three times a week.”

The guest’s deer cameras, Berry said, revealed that three of the 11 men captured on camera toted AK-47s, and the others had bales of marijuana on their backs.

“I was thinking: ‘I wonder what I would do if I owned that ranch?’ So I created a

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY PULLS OFF HIS HEADSET AFTER AN OFFENSIVE SERIES DURING THE FOURTH QUARTER Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Despite KU’s 0-2 record, Beaty says he and his team remain optimistic about their season.

Beaty, team still excited about season

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

At 0-2 heading into its lone bye week of the 2015 season, the Kansas University football team sits in a position that many people expected before the season began.

Youth and inexperience, along with a lack of depth and talent at several key positions, painted the picture of a rough season on the horizon and, so far, with the Jayhawks off to their first 0-2 start since Mark Mangino’s first season in 2002, that painting looks as if it were executed in the studio of Rembrandt, even if the product on the field does not.

Asked if the long faces on the sideline toward the end of Saturday’s 55-23 loss to Memphis were an indication that the Jayhawks were starting to feel the air go out of the excitement that came with the new coaching staff and fresh start, first-year head coach David Beaty remained upbeat.

“Not at all,” he said.

“That’s the reason I feel so

good about this group. Every one of them are hurting.

Every one of them are dissatisfied. They’re disappointed. But from a discouraged standpoint, they know we’ve got their back, they know we love them, and they know this is a process, not an event, and we’re in it together.”

With just one nonconference game remaining before the annual Big 12 gauntlet begins — Sept. 26 at Rutgers — the Jayhawks are staring at the very real possibility of turning in an historic season.

In 125 previous seasons of football, the Jayhawks have finished winless just one time. That came in 1954, when Chuck Mather — who went 11-26-3 from 1954-57 — guided the Jayhawks to an 0-10 finish during a season in which Kansas was topped by an average score of 38-9.

For even more historical perspective, consider that KU has finished a season with one victory just seven times — the most recent of which came in 2012 under Charlie Weis — and the program has

gone undefeated four times (1891, 1899, 1908, 1923).

On Monday morning’s Big 12 coaches teleconference, Beaty, who was asked questions for just five of the 10 minutes carved out for each coach, reiterated what he has said since the day he arrived — “Our goal from the very beginning has been to get just a little bit better every day” — and added he believed that would happen in time.

“We’re at a point in our program right now where we have to continue to do a great job of developing these young guys,” Beaty said last weekend. “And we also have to continue to improve our talent overall to create a competitive environment in there that makes us better.

We’ve done that to a degree, but we haven’t been able to do it like we completely want to yet. That’s going to take some time. That’s going to take a couple recruiting classes to get those things done.”

And that fact is not lost on any of KU’s opponents.

Memphis, which outscored

the Jayhawks 55-13 after spotting them a 10-0 lead early in the first quarter last weekend, plays at Bowling Green this week. And Monday, at his weekly news conference previewing his team’s next game, Memphis coach Justin Fuente remarked that the Tigers were taking “a pretty significant step up in competition this week.”

Seven or eight years ago, such a claim would have been hard to imagine. Today, it’s a fact that is hard to dispute.

Because of the reality of the situation, the Jayhawks are trying to tune in to even the smallest details in their quest to move the program forward. Win a one-on-one battle. Win a play. Win a quarter. Win a half.

The thinking behind that building-block approach is that, eventually, it will lead to the point where the Jayhawks are winning games again.

During the week, when KU refuels and gets fired up for another opponent and a new game plan, that seems to be Please see FOOTBALL, page 3D

Elite big men on campus this weekend

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A pair of elite high school basketball big men will be making official recruiting visits to Kansas University this weekend.

Udoka Azubuike, a 6-foot-11, 260-pound senior center from Potter’s House in Jacksonville, Florida, who is ranked No. 27 nationally

by Rivals.com, will join No. 118-rated Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-8 senior power forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High.

Azubuike’s mentor, Harry Coxsome, told Zagsblog. com, that he and Udoka have heard from coaches Please see KEEGAN, page 10D from KU, Kentucky, Duke,

North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Cal, Auburn, Florida and Florida State.

“We don’t have a list. He’s wide open in his recruitment now. The only visit we have planned right now is Kansas,” Coxsome told SNY.tv.

Of KU, Coxsome said: “The offense that they run, they do run it through their big men. We’ve had numerous conversations with coach (Bill) Self and coach (Norm) Roberts, so we feel like that is a definite great staff, not to say we’re going to commit or anything, just to say that we definitely think highly of Kansas.”

Lightfoot has visited Stanford and Utah and will

visit St. John’s on Oct. 2 and Arizona on Oct. 10 before reaching a final decision.

Lightfoot and his family members hosted Self, Roberts and Kurtis Townsend on Sunday. He told Jayhawk slant the in-home visit was “freaking amazing. Coach Self is so awesome and he cleared up a lot of stuff for me during our visit together. It was just an awesome visit.”

Lightfoot wrote on Twitter: “Great in home visit with coach Self and Kansas. I’ll be in Lawrence on Thursday night — Rock Chalk Jayhawk.” l

an easy mindset for the players to have. However, right now, as appropriate as the approach might be, those same players are having a tough time focusing on that silver lining on game days.

“Things like that — we tackled better, we got three turnovers — they get overshadowed by the big thing, which was they put up 55 points,” junior safety Fish Smithson said following the loss to Memphis.

That’s why Beaty believes the bye week, though early by most stan-

will be allowed to enter about 4:30 through their customary separate entrance on the northeast side of the fieldhouse. Because of construction, the best way for students to access their entrance is to approach from the west side of the parking garage.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve how we do things. We thought this was a logical step to make it run like all men’s home games run.

dards, comes at a good time for this team. It gives Beaty and his staff extra time to break down two real games and take the lessons — good and bad — to the practice fields, where the Jayhawks can continue to grind.

“This bye week’s going to be great for us,” Beaty predicted after the loss to Memphis. “Just walking out of that locker room right there, I’m pleased — if I can say pleased, I’m pleased with their demeanor because they’re disappointed, they know they’re better than that and they’re ready to go to work right away, so that’s good.”

Added veteran linebacker Marcquis Roberts: “We just gotta get better.

KU-Rutgers on BTN Kansas officials announced Monday that the Sept. 26 match-up with Rutgers in New Jersey will be televised by the Big Ten Network.

The game, which is scheduled for an 11 a.m. kickoff, will be the Jayhawks’ final nonconference game of the 2015 season and will be the first meeting between the two programs and mark KU’s first appearance on the network.

It’s just like a men’s game in terms of how many are in the building,” associate AD Jim Marchiony said.

Indeed, students enter the fieldhouse a half-hour earlier than the rest of the fans for all home games.

For instance, for a 7 p.m. tip, doors open at the student entrance at 5 p.m., for the general public at 5:30.

KU Athletics said it will use Wham City Lights, integrated into the official Kansas Athletics App, for “Late Night Lights” for added effect during the proceedings. KU fans will be able to participate in the activities if they bring a smart phone. By down-

loading the Kansas Athletics App, fans can take part in a hand-held light show.

Time Warner Cable SportsChannel will oversee the television production of Late Night, which will be seen live on the Jayhawk TV Network, including ESPN3. It also will be aired on the Jayhawk radio network.

Late Night will feature skits by the men’s and women’s basketball teams, videos and scrimmages by both hoops teams. For more information go to http://kuathletics.com/news/2015/9/14/ MBB_0914151337.aspx

Firebirds control pace to down De Soto, 3-0

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

At this stage of the season, Free State High boys soccer players are more advanced in their offensive attacks than defending.

That’s the result of a large number of returning forwards from last year, who have the speed and smarts to find ways to score.

The Firebirds used their strengths to their advantage against De Soto on Monday, controlling possessions and tempo in a 3-0 victory at FSHS. They outshot the Wildcats, 19-11, and were even a little disappointed they weren’t more crisp with their attacks.

“Our offense, the whole preseason, has been a step ahead of our defense,” senior midfielder Will Laufer said. “You see it today. We couldn’t connect the passes but sometimes we’re a little lackadaisical on the defensive end.”

In the 22nd minute, FSHS senior forward Eduardo Carballido Flores drew a foul in the 18-yard box, setting up Laufer for a penalty kick. Laufer, a Central Arkansas commit, drilled the shot inside of the right post for the first score.

“It just clicked with the boys,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said of the offense.

“Either the runs we’re supposed to be making and in the box now, they just have a different mentality. We’re not just shooting or anything like that, we’re trying to actually finish. That has really changed our offense.”

Less than eight minutes into the second half, junior midfielder Heitor Nazareth passed the ball to junior forward Brandon Patterson, who ran

past his defender, and Patterson only needed one touch to control the ball and fire it into the back of the net for a 2-0 advantage.

“It was natural,” Patterson said. “I just did what I needed to do.”

It was the third goal of the season for Patterson, who is tied for the team lead with Laufer. Despite playing without a ton of varsity experience, Patterson hasn’t needed much time to adjust.

“After a few good practices, you kind of get into the mindset, ‘OK, I can do well here,’” Patterson said. “After you get the first goal or two, you really know that.”

Carballido Flores added the final goal in the 59th minute when he fired a shot from the top of the 18-yard box and snuck it past the keeper in the lower-left corner of the net. He celebrated by taking his shirt off and waving it while running

around, earning a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Defensively, the Firebirds (2-0) limited quality chances for the Wildcats (3-2), with Garrett Hodge, Charlie Newsome, Rowan Laufer and Jordan Patrick on the back line. De Soto’s best opportunity came in the final minutes of the first half when Lucas Zoller drilled a shot in the box, but FSHS goalkeeper Jonathan Lesslie knocked it away with a diving save, preserving his eventual shutout.

“We just need to be more compact defensively and stick our tackles harder,” Laufer said.

Barah added of the defensive effort: “So much better today than we did the other night. We just hope they keep improving in that fashion.”

The Firebirds will play Shawnee Mission Northwest at 6:30 tonight at FSHS.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Mets’ win streak hits 8 The Associated Press

National League Mets 4, Marlins 3 New York — David Wright had a go-ahead double in the seventh inning, Yoenis Cespedes homered again, and the Mets won their eighth straight, over Miami on Monday night.

With two outs and runners on first and second, David Wright hit a fastball from reliever Kyle Barraclough (2-1) to the deepest part of the park, well over the head of scrambling center fielder Christian Yelich, for a ground-rule double — scoring pinch-runner Eric Young Jr. and giving the Mets a 4-3 lead.

Travis d’Arnaud also homered for New York.

Cespedes connected for the ninth time in 13 games.

Hansel Robles (4-2) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win. Jeurys Famila was perfect in the ninth for his 41st save in 46 opportunities.

Logan Verrett, making a spot in start in place of Matt Harvey, who was skipped in the rotation to limit his innings, pitched one-run ball for five.

CLEVELAND’S MICHAEL BRANTLEY, LEFT, SLIDES INTO HOME behind Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez, right, in the seventh inning of the Indians’ 8-3 victory on Monday in Cleveland.

Royals lose again Cleveland (ap) — The winningest pitcher on the Royals was unable to get them back on track.

Edinson Volquez allowed four runs, including two homers, in five innings Monday night as the surging Cleveland Indians defeated Kansas City 8-3.

The defending AL champs lost for the eighth time in 10 games, but hold a two-game lead over Toronto for the best record in the Junior Circuit.

“This stretch, it’s like the flu, you’ve just got to let it run its course,” said Kansas City manager Ned Yost, whose team leads the Central by nine games over Minnesota with 19 to play.

“Once it runs its course, you’re fine, but it’s not a whole lot of fun while you’re going through it.”

Volquez (13-8) absorbed his first loss since Aug. 12, surrendering a leadoff home run to Jason Kipnis in the first and a solo shot to Giovanny Urshela in the fourth. The righthander gave up seven hits and struck out four.

The Indians, who are 41⁄2 games out of the second AL wild-card spot, scored four runs off relievers Kelvin Herrera and Franklin Morales in the final two innings.

During one of his tours of duty in Afghanistan, the father pulled a sniper “out of a dangerous situation,” and they became friends. The sniper visited the ranch, met his friend’s twin sons and captivated them with sniper stories in the barn. The twins became snipers and served in Afghanistan.

approached any coaches about not wanting to play.

“I know things are out there. That’s ridiculous,” Reid said. “I was the one that watched him practice.

I thought if I put him out there, I’d put him in a terrible situation.”

R e i d said that Fisher it became evident during Fisher’s limited repetitions that he was unable to plant on his ailing ankle. That would have not only made it difficult to defend Watt and Co. during pass protections, but it would

have made it hard for him to move around in the run game.

So, Reid chose to start Jah Reid in his place. Reid was just signed Monday after spending the past four seasons with Baltimore, and had only a couple of practices to get up to speed.

Even so, Reid performed well. Watt was the only Texans player to get to Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, sacking him twice.

The Chiefs offensive line also managed to pry open running room for Jamaal Charles late, when they were trying to hang on for a 27-20 victory.

“He did good. He did a respectable job,” Andy Reid said. “I thought the whole group did.”

Chiefs’ Reid backs up RT Fisher Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid on Monday defended embattled right tackle Eric Fisher, who has been dealing with a high-ankle sprain and was unable to play in their season opener at Houston.

Fisher practiced last week but was not on the field with the starters Sunday. Several reports citing unidentified sources said the Chiefs were upset with Fisher for telling them late in the week that he was not ready to deal with J.J. Watt and the rest of the Texans.

Reid denied those reports in a conference call with writers Monday, saying the former No. 1 overall draft pick never
